August 6, 2004 -- MR. Kerry, in your conven tion speech you threw caution to the wind and endorsed what you called "one of the oldest Commandments: 'Honor thy father and thy mother.' " Oldest? Were they not all published together? Here are some other questions:You invoke the Commandment to explain why you "will not cut" Social Security benefits. Does that include raising the retirement age, which Congress set at 65 in 1935, when the life expectancy of an American male was 62?
Regarding military action, your platform says "We will never wait for a green light from abroad when our safety is at stake." But the platform's preceding paragraph denounces President Bush's "doctrine of unilateral pre-emption." If unilateralism is wrong, are you not committed to some sort of "green light from abroad"?
Are you glad that in 1981 Israel set back Iraq's nuclear weapons program with a unilateral pre-emptive attack on the reactor near Baghdad?

I hope George Will is not expecting answers to those excellent questions.
What would it matter? Kerry would just answer all of the questions 'I served in Viet Nam'. I guess the part that he is leaving out in all of these quotes is the fact that he 'served' in Viet Nam most after he left the war. Absolutely makes me want to hurl.
he'll get the answers after Kerry unveils his secret plans, shortly after he assumes power in the White House (right ROFLMAO)
Heh.
